Sympathy

Good evening

This has been a really hard card to make. It was a shock to be told that a colleague passed away on Sunday from Cancer. She was not only a colleague but also the Mother of another colleague who I have worked closely with for the pass few years.

I think the hardest bit is that no one knew. Four weeks ago, she was rushing around at work like normal and then she just disappeared.

I have kept to a clean and simple design in yellow, white and kraft card. The digital stamp is called Poppies Bunch from Sami Stamps. I have coloured the stems using ProMarkers and paper pieced the flowers with digital patterned paper.

About Me

Hi, I am a 43 year old single parent to Tyler who is 16. I have lived in Sittingbourne, Kent all of my life.

Currently I work full time for my local Asda as a Section Leader, but in my share time I like to make cards.

I have been crafting on and off for many years, I remember my Grandmother teaching me to knit at a very early age. I have also had a phase of completing cross stitch kits, but currently my passion is for paper and cards.

In my early 20s I trained and worked as a graphic designer and I think this has help with my crafting.
